Computer says –
Computer says that day is night
Oh what am I to do?
I cannot work without daylight
Computers they are always right
This I believe with all my might
All thought we must eschew
Computer says that six is nine
Oh deary, dreary me!
My shoe’s too tight
My suit’s a fright
I’ve gained such height
Computer wrong? It cannot be
Computer says I need not think
Oh happiness is mine!
No need to check through all my bills
Or read the gauge as my car fills
I am devoid of thinking skills
Now that machines have freed my mind
Computer says I need not spell
Oh joy, I’m such a slob
I needn’t bother now with books
My friends say English is for kooks
I need to work upon my looks
Don’t care that I won't get a job
Computer memorizes all
Oh what a gracious beast!
I can’t remember anyway
No need to recall month or day
Nor walk through deeds of yesterday
Of all my skills it matters least
Computer takes up all my day
No need for human chatter
No need to get up from my couch
Or worry much about my slouch
For this my lifestyle I will vouch
The world outside just doesn’t matter
My father says that I am thick
Oh great calamity
I read but do not see the words
I count, my answers are absurd
I talk, my sentences are blurred
Is it too late for me?
My mother says that I am fat
Oh how can this be true
Computer says it’s just bad luck
Not all the grease I chew and suck
Or lack of exercise – oh f***!
See - now my mirror’s lying too
My teacher says that I am fine
High standards do not matter
Old fashioned is the world of words
Maths is obsolete, for nerds
PT is dangerous, for birds
My keyboard I must clatter
Computer broke down yesterday
Now this is true disaster
I panic as I look around
And recognise no sight or sound
The world’s just spinning round and round
Oh please return, my master!
Pleasant Days
